Clear garnet, with pleasant blackcurrant and cedar aromas. Full and tart fruit flavor, clean and fresh; soft tannins and crisp acidity provide structure. Surprisingly characterful Bordeaux for a bargain-basement price; its roots in a stereotypically "lesser" district, east of St.-Emilion, may account for that, but this one rises above its origins.
